It's my first V8, but it looks very straightforward compared to the V6s I had. If the leak isn't bad, I might procrastinate until I do the timing belt. It already has 50k miles, so I might do it in the next year and prematurely replace anything else that makes sense.The valve cover leak is a cheap and easy fix to diy, just give yourself a day to work on it so you're not rushed and a step stool so your comfortable when you're re-seating the covers, which can honestly be the most time-consuming part.
